Commissioned Man's Card ...



... requested by my AJ (Aunt Joan) as she couldn't find the card she wanted for a man (who just happens to be my Dad!!!). One is an A6 card is made using an image from Joanna Sheen's Egyptian CD, and backing paper from Dancing With Shadows. The picture is matted onto silver mirri card, finished off with buttons and peel-offs. The other is also A6 with an image and backing sheet from Joanna Sheen's Dancing With Shadows CD. Finished with 3 gems. I couldn't make up my mind which one to send, so decided I would send them both to AJ and she can make the decision!!!

This is a special ...


... thank you, to a very special person who has given me invaluable help and advice recently. The image and backing papers are from Joanna Sheen's Fashion Boutique CD. Finished off with an acetate perfume bottle, two Wizard corners and some peel-offs.
